It's right next to train station. They let me check in early and leave my bag there after checking out. The guy is very friendly and accommodating. The room key was like Grand Budapest Hotel.

As it's an old building, you hear a lot of creaking and noise from surrounding rooms, but the building adds to the charm of this little hotel.

Food was delicious. Location convenient as it's directly opposite train station.

Booking confirmation said check in 16.00 but subsequent message said 17.00. Not a problem for me, I arrived at 16.30, but consistency would be useful. Lighting in room quite dim, some heating but still rather chilly. All just minor points.

Location: perfect for the train station (as the name implies!), on the spectacular Montreux to Interlaken route. This is a simple and quite basic hotel, but definitely appealing for its faded charm, this is a classic “French style” Hotel de la Gare. The room was adequate for my needs (an overnight stop). The owner cooked a three course meal for me, despite me being the only person staying, (needs booking previous day, so prior to arrival), CHF 25, a good meal. Quiet as no one else there, but I can imagine the bar/restaurant being a good ambience with more people. Good buffet breakfast, CHF 7.

Solo room was a bit small, but you get what you pay for. Heating was at the window, but the corridors were always freezing at night, which could be felt in the room itself.

Breathtaking views, pleasant environment, wonderful staff, comfortable bed, generally clean rooms, very quiet. Breakfast was also very pleasant and wholesome, as well as affordable. Dinner was very filling and warm. Location was perfect and convenient, with easy access to the train.

Prices in Switzerland are always a shock, as was the price here, but for a good location in Switzerland to be expected.

The location is superb, right next to the train station surrounded by beautiful countryside. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was fine. The breakfast was a buffet plenty of delicious cheeses, croissant, yoghurt, and good coffee. Very good playroom for guests and their children with table football.

A TV in the room would have been useful

When it comes to location, the Hotel de la Gare could hardly be closer to the Gare in question, Montbovon. It is literally just across the road and has served the village, amazingly, since 1669, long before the super-efficient and comfortable Swiss electric trains served the station. Whilst the hotel building is large and looks impressively-built, in early July it was quite quiet as was Montbovon itself - a small place with few facilities. There is a local shop (cheese being their speciality) a church, a school, the staion, this hotel and a lovely lake which is a pleasant hour-long walk. So there is no restaurant or bar although these can be found in the nearby villages accessible via the regular train service. The hotel will provide an evening meal (it needs to be booked in advance) and breakfast is simple but good and, for Switzerland, excellent value at €7. Don't expect sophisticated living here - the room I had was simply furnished (with no tv and the shared use of the bathroom/toilet with a sink in the room) and, as it was a corner room, had a direct view over the station and towards the village. Somewhat bizarrely, for quite a distance the train shares the road with the cars! For the price - and again, for Switzerland, a very affordable price - it is definitely good for a stopover and, I suspect, in winter is used for longer stays when the area is covered in snow and seasonal activities take place.

It's no 5 star, multiple hundred francs per night stay, and you shouldn't expect that? No complaints!

Directly at the train station. Friendly staff that's really making the best of the hotel. Great view from the balcony. Breakfast is reasonably priced. Room cleaned even during the stay.

Welcoming host, beautiful location and right next to the Railway station. We also had dinner here one evening and it was a very nice, reasonably priced (for Switzerland!) home cooked meal.

As I travelled alone I would have liked the possibility of having walking tours or cycling tours to meet other people. There are no restaurants in the area in the evening or other places to go to to meet other people. Best to go in group

Good breakfast and nice location

Location ist quite close to the railway station; the village itself has just a few shops, so you should bring things you need with you

Pillows were tired.

In the heart of the mountains. Nice and simple.

The older building can be quite noisy at night, depending on the other guests.

Nice room, nice environment, friendly hosts.

Nothing all good.

The location is ideal for onward travel for daily visits to Gruyere and Gstaad by the Swiss Rail service . The breakfast was excellent especially the home made bread and jams and the evening 3 course meal and coffee is great value for 25 francs.. Its a family run hotel and the owners are very friendly and welcoming . The rooms are simple and traditional and reflect the history of the hotel which has been hosting guests since the 17th century .

The entry to the bath cubicle was a little too tight.

Nice little place for an overnight stay, nothing fancy - it was just right. We stayed in a room that had attached bathroom. Located right next to the railway station. There were parking spaces for guests.

Nice stay with good food at fair price. Very friendly staff.

All good.

The hotel building and atmosohere made me felt I was in a historical romance novel. With its classic charms and with this old train station opposite the hotel guests take lots of instagram worthy photos.

Only one thing really: The Internet access was intermittent while reception was great, connectivity to a number of news and government websites was interrupted by a security warning that I would not observe on the mobile network.

Location is great to access several ski resorts in case of changing weather. Staff is very friendly and went the extra mile to help us explore the area having fun. The converted train station has a great feel and it was very clean. We enjoyed the lounge on the ground floor a lot, relaxing after an fun day on the snow.
